The rise of populism in Europe and the United States has had a pronounced impact on domestic politics and foreign policy, as seen in Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. In China, leaders are unsettled by the nationalist and anti-globalization sentiments that often accompany populist movements and run counter to China’s interests. Beijing has also had to adapt its policies to the European Union’s new politics. For now, however, China has mostly avoided criticism from populist leaders who see the country as a willing partner and leverage against the establishment.
